/** This class implements a Euclidean distance metric. The metric calculates the distance between
  * the given two vectors by summing the square root of the squared differences between
  * each coordinate.

  *
  * If you don't care about the true distance and only need for comparison,
  * [[SquaredEuclideanDistanceMetric]] will be faster because it doesn't calculate the actual
  * square root of the distances.
